Wasser und Umwelt - Sampling of ground- and surface water
Water is fundamental for all life on Earth. The amount of available water is limited and cannot be replenished artificially.
Groundwater is the main
source of drinking water. In Germany, about 74% of drinking water
originates from groundwater. Water monitoring, analysis, and evaluation
are necessary on a regular basis in order to ensure clean and
sustainable drinking water quality. Anthropogenic influences, for
example pesticides, fertilizers, air-borne pollutants, solvents and
oils, represent a threat to drinking water and groundwater quality.
Regular sampling of drinking water and groundwater can help to
understand the composition and origin of the contamination and provides
starting points for the optimization of monitoring programs.
The sampling of drinking water and groundwater is accomplished according to DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025, either as a tap sample with a pump or by drilling of groundwater wells (MP1 Grundfoss). For analysis, appropriate sampling is a prerequisite for acceptable results.
